Okay, new plan. Hopefully I will be able to do this. I will order the lipo and servo from unitedhobbies. Then order the medusa 36-60 2000kv motor from rc-monster, I will just need to dish out a little more money.
For what it's worth, I opened up my KD36-74 today. It didn't take much force with a hammer against the shaft to pop the rear endbell off - and it's pressed in with epoxy like Feigao motors. Right now there is a crapload of JB Weld on it. The front endbell is actually threaded, but the threads on the cap are slightly too small of a diameter to properly fit into the threads on the can. When the rear endbell is done drying, I'll take some red threadlock to the front endbell.

I was searching the battery section on unitedhobbies and stumbled upon a battery that might be a better match for me. It is a Zipp-H 5000mah 20-30c 5s. Even though it has a lower c rating it actually has the same continuos amp rating and adds 10amps to burst. Is there any sown side to getting this over the 25-35c 4000mah?
